Job 24 And 25

After reading chapter 24:

*Job is still speaking.He talks of the wicked who don't recieve their just deserts. They steal and oppress the poor and needy in various ways. In spite of that God doesn't set a day of judgement for them nor charges them with wrongdoing. (No judgement day???) Job talks about people who take advantage of the cover of darkness to do wicked or shameful things. He calls them friends of darkness, rebels against the light, figuratively and literally. In the end, the sinners  will die too. No one will remember them. They may feel secure and attain reknown while alive, but they will be brought low and gathered in by the grim reaper, just like all the rest. Who can prove Job is wrong? Not I.

*After reading chapter 25:

Bildad replies. He says no person can be righteous or pure before God. Even the moon and stars don't measure up. We are just worms and maggots. Speak for yourself, Bildad!

It's a good thing I am not feeling depressed right now. I once bought into the worm theory of human existence. It did wonders for my self esteem.
